The sentence above just means I have one more week at the
mtc and then I'll be in Italy! So this past week has actually been really fun.
I watched a really cool devotional sunday night given by Holland almost 10
years ago. He talked a lot about how we need to be a missionary our whole lives
and not just on the mission. And then also the importance of submitting
ourselves to God's will which is really vital for someone like me who is trying
to become a missionary everyday. We got to skype with an actual italian this
last week for trc and it was sweet. He enjoyed our message and gave us some
good tips. On monday, my zone also got to host the elderly couples that are
coming in and get them ready to serve on their missions. I met a couple from
Star Valley and even ate dinner with them when I saw them sitting by us in the
cafeteria. They're going to the Brazil MTC to be the medical professionals so
that'll be fun for them.
This week I also got as close to a girl as I've been in 6
weeks, ha we were playing volleyball and someone hit it long and I ran for the
ball and hit it (perfect set) and just demolished the girl. I felt so bad since
I did not see her at all. On well. I've been able to see a lot of close friends
which has been really cool to see that my friends are making the same decision
to serve the lord on missions.
We got flight plans this week and my group takes off at 6 to
go to the airport and then its a direct flight to italy. Its the first time
they have had a direct flight to italy for the missionaries so I feel really
blessed. My companion is also the travel leader so he gets to try and corral
all of us onto a plane. We saw some baptisms in the ocean in areas of the rome
mission so I am totally stocked.
Anyway love you guys
Ciao

PS I might get an extra P-day saturday because I'll miss
mine next week since I'll be on a plane. And in Italy the missionaries write
home on mondays not wednesdays.
